LIS-UKBIBS: new UK discussion list on bibliographic standards and metadata
A new discussion list, LIS-UKBIBS, is now available for UK cataloguers,
indexers and all those interested in the application of bibliographic
standards and metadata in the UK library environment.
Supported on the jiscmail list service, LIS-UKBIBS has replaced the old
LIS-UKMARC list.
It has a wider scope than lis-ukmarc, and includes the following topics: -
* MARC 21 - input from the UK library community, including
* Proposals and papers originating in the UK
for amendment of the MARC
21 format before sending to the Library of
Congress
* Comment and opinion on the numbered
Proposals and Discussion
Papers submitted for consideration by the
MARC Advisory Committee (available
on the Library of Congress website at
www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/list-p.html and
www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/list-dp.html
respectively).
(NB: please use the MARC Forum discussion
list for implementation, maintenance, changes, and development of the MARC
21 format. More about MARC Forum, including joining instructions, can be
found at
www.loc.gov/marc/marcforum.html)
* UKMARC - MARC 21 conversion problems and issues
* Legacy use of the UKMARC format
*
* Discussion, opinion, views and sharing information on the
maintenance and revision of bibliographic standards and metadata issues
including:-
AACR (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules)
LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings)
GSAFD revision,
Dewey, UDC and other classification schemes
HILT terminologies
Dublin Core
All users of the existing LIS-UKMARC list were automatically switched to
